This will change Wireless Play to LAN Play, which can be used for competitions.

Players can choose this optional mode to help their driving skills - or let smaller children race in tougher courses. Smart Steering - This driver assist feature is on by default (you have to access the menu while selection a kart via +/- and turn it off manually).Hit B (brake) while doing a hard turn and you'll spin around fast. Quick Turn - Nintendo added the ability to do a 180 degree turn to make for better Battle Mode gameplay.Super Dirft Boost is not avaliable if Smart Steeing is enabled. Super Drift Boost - If you keep drifting after your kart's sparks turn blue and then orange, they will turn light purple and result in a bigger speed boost when released.Dual Item Capacity - Now players can grab and hold up to two items at a time, with one item held out and the other in reserve that can be used after the first item is used.There are several new additions to the Mario Kart 8 formula that change the game up in some really big ways: The requirements for kart part unlocks have changed, in some cases - for example, to get the Gold Tires you have to beat the 150cc staff ghosts in Time Trials and for the Gold Standard Body, you now need to get a star rank in every mirror mode cup. Like the Wii U version, Karts and and parts must be unlocked by playing the game.

Like characters, there are also new kart and parts to coincide with the new characters. Splatoon (use either of the Splatoon amiibo).
